Group buying
A limited group buy clears early inventory, brings cash in and starts word of mouth — all at once.
Sound familiar?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Qoo10 Mega Sale?
The Qoo10 Mega Sale is a large discount event held four times a year on Qoo10 Japan — in March, June, September and December — anchored by a 20% mega discount coupon. It is one of the most important sale events for K-beauty brands, and sales during the period can reach five to ten times normal levels.
How do you avoid stockouts during the Mega Sale?
It takes demand forecasting from past data, stock secured in advance at roughly three to five times normal levels, additional customer support staffing, and agreements with delivery partners ahead of time. VIVID BRIDGE starts preparing stock, support and logistics two months before the sale so demand does not outrun supply.
How does a creator group buy work?
A creator group buy sells the product at a limited price for a limited window in partnership with a creator who has an engaged audience. VIVID BRIDGE runs the whole cycle: creator selection, product and price planning, a dedicated landing page, the live event, and settlement. The concentrated demand is effective for clearing initial stock and generating word of mouth.
How do you retain the new customers a group buy brings in?
We move new buyers toward retention with LINE friend registration, repeat purchase coupons and subscription options. We connect group buy data to your CRM, track the repeat purchase rate and act on what the numbers show.
